There are many ways to eradicate cockroach infestation from your house, but some professional cockroach control service providers prefer different methods to kill them. Here is a list which depicts all the methods of eliminating cockroaches. Organic Method for Cockroach Elimination Diatomaceous Earth is also known as D.E, diatomite, is a fine powder that is used as a filtration aid, mechanical insecticide, matting agent for coating, cat litter, stabilizing component for dynamite, and killing roaches. It consists of fossilized remaining of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Once you sprinkle around the cockroach-infested areas, the brittle shell cuts into the cockroachu2019s shell dry it out and gradually kill it. This method takes some time and but it is highly effective and safe than using any harmful chemical components. Wasps are raptorial insects that eat cockroach egg cases and cockroaches themselves. Wasps are more like any flying insects which sting. If you leave them alone, they will eat all your roaches, hopefully. It may not be as effective as diatomite, but it sure is organic. Less Poisonous Cockroach Removal Method Boric acid is less poisonous but highly used as a pesticide. Just mix it with a thick batter of sugar, water, and flour; it will become a bait ball that attracts the roaches. Roaches get attracted towards the ball, thinking it as their source of food. Once they eat it, they carry it back to their nest and eventually die from dehydration. Regular dish cleaning detergent is one of the safest pesticides and also works on all kinds of pests. Add one teaspoon of soap with one cup of water, mix it well, and pour into a water bottle. The next step is to spray the mixture in that area where cockroaches are mostly found. Once the soapy solution dries, it dehydrates the pests, and they die. More Poisonous Cockroach Removal Method When the cockroach infestation grows aggressively all over your house, and it seems quite impossible to control them, it is the appropriate time for artificial warfare. Most chemical poison can be easily bought from any local store. Moreover, the toxins come in a spray bottle or in a fogger, gel or as a bait ball. The problem with a spray or fogger is it covers larger areas which may also include the places which you donu2019t want pesticide covering. So the safer and effective alternative is to apply gel and bait balls. If you are still scared of using poisons, diatomite, and wasps in your house for cockroach elimination, you can seek the help of pest control companies who provide specialized cockroach control service in Bangalore.
